Dr Sunila B.S
Dental Education Unit Objectives

Hi, I am Dr. Sunila B Sangappa , Associate Professor , Department of Prosthodontics Crown & Bridge and the Convenor of Dental education unit ,JSS Dental College & Hospital. As a student, teacher as well as a clinician, I have always realized the need for formal training to impart dental education for clinical practice. Learning and working with international illustrious educationists while pursuing Postgraduate Diploma in Health Professions education facilitated the importance of quality and relevance of dental education at all levels of professional development.

Enrolling into FAIMER Fellowship at PSGFRI, Coimbatore was a key stone to build and refine my abilities as a learner and translate them into practice. With the unconditional encouragement, support from my University, Institution and with an enthusiastic, focussed team I look forward for excellence in my endeavour.

Dr Seema Deshmukh
Hi, I am Dr. Seema Deshmukh, working as a Reader in Department of Pedodontics &Preventive Dentistry, JSS Dental College and Hospital. As a young teacher, I was fascinated to find different patterns of learning among the students. This created interest in me to explore and incorporate different teaching learning methodologies. I believe in the fact that faculty development through improvising the knowledge and skills of teaching is the only way to accomplish the professional task and responsibilities that we as teachers hold.

Dental Education Unit is the platform that would help us to improvise the quality of teaching and learning and that would empower the teachers for discharging our professional responsibilities. As a member of Dental Education Unit I look forward towards being a facilitator for learning and a mentor than just being an information giver

Dr Avinash BS
Hi, I am Dr. Avinash BS, Reader from Department of Periodontology, JSS Dental College and Hospital. It was during my post-graduation days that I developed interest towards teaching when we were asked to give clinical demonstration to undergraduate students.

To fill up these lacunae I attended many Training of teacher workshops conducted jointly by Indian Society of Periodontology and Manipal centre for professional and personal development (Manipal University) which has helped me to improve my teaching skills. I look forward use latest technology to improve teaching methods and put the same into practice.
